On the back of the material I was writing for the Canal Cafe, I chatted with Harold Davison at lunch the Sunday before this letter. He is Gary’s dad; I have known Gary for ages through DJ and Kim.
Anyway, Harold wanted to show a lyric of mine to Frank Sinatra and Sammy Cahn…and who was I to refuse?
Here is a link to the tag of all my correspondence/lyrical interactions with Harold.

Dear Harold,
I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
It was a pleasure to meet you at the Royal Garden last week. I found your comments on lyric writing and satire both interesting and helpful.
I have produced a parody of the above number, as requested. I hope it meets with your approval, and with that of Sinatra himself. I would be most interested to learn how it is received.
I must now away, to prepare myself for the Venice trip with my Chiropodist friend!
Yours sincerely
